"A synthetic essential amino acid added to correct or complete a food's amino acid profile."
Added when the base protein sources in a formula don't naturally provide enough threonine to meet requirements — common in formulas leaning on plant proteins, which tend to be lower in this particular amino acid than named meats. Standard, safe correction, not a red flag on its own.
No known safety, allergen, sourcing, or regulatory concerns. Full marks — 0 pts deducted.
